Conveyancing
Our conveyancing lawyers advise people across Coventry, Leamington Spa, Stratford upon Avon and the whole of Warwickshire on the process of buying and selling property, guiding people through the different stages of house buying and selling.
Whatever type of property you are buying, you may not be familiar with the house buying process. Buying a house, or selling a home, can seem like a daunting task. Our experienced conveyancers can guide you through each stage of the property purchase or property sale. They use their many years' combined conveyancing experience to share their tips on buying or selling, a property.
We guide you through the process with regular updates by email and phone.
Our conveyancing solicitors have also achieved the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Standard (CQS) accreditation so you can be confident that you will be dealing with solicitors who understand the property market.
If you want to find out the solicitor fees for your house purchase, sale or both, do send us an enquiry and one of our expert conveyancing solicitors will provide details on the legal costs involved.

"... it is incredibly useful to be able to recommend a solicitor as impressive as Hannah. Not once have I ever had a client unhappy with her service and I strongly believe some sales may never have got over the line if it wasn’t for Hannah’s proactive ‘can do’ attitude."

Most conveyancing costs will fall within the fee scale indicated below. However, there are a number of elements that will influence the cost of conveyancing such as the location of the property (for instance, the proximity of old coal workings or other topographical features); whether or not the building is listed and / or within a conservation area; its valuation; or if it is a new lease in a development. Therefore, it is our standard practice to give you an individual quote depending on the circumstances of your sale or purchase.
